A number of 7‐oxanorbornene derivatives with hydroxymethyl, methoxymethyl and acetoxymethyl functionalities were synthesised and investigated as monomers in ring‐opening metathesis polymerisation (ROMP) catalysed by commercial ruthenium trichloride in aqueous ethanolic solvents. Comparison was made with related polymerisations of 7‐oxanorbornene derivatives with anhydride, methoxymethyl and carboxylic acid functionalities. The structures of the polymers were investigated by 1 H and 13 C NMR and their molar masses and molar mass distributions by gel‐permeation chromatography.
